Around here, spanish speakers doing daycare, landscaping, roofing & other contracting businesses loom large.

The tell: They speak very little English, have newer homes (more expensive than my own) and drive new/newer vehicles.

The only way that could be accomplished is via some fraud mechanism.

And, to be clear, this is in a [very blue] state where I personally know contractors to have left for other states due to the high licensing and burdensome regulatory landscape, as well as others who have been denied SBA assistance...all while mexicans seem to be thriving.

I’d sure like to know the mechanism behind what appears to be reverse discrimination wrapped in a blanket of fraud...
